After refilling the radiator, you need to let the car run up to temp with the cap off the radiator. If you were to watch you will see the water/antifreeze mix burp letting out air. When air leaves usually you will see the water level drop. You add more mix until full. Cap it drive it, watch the temps. If it over heats, let it cool and repeat the procedure.
